because acurazine is owned by Internet Brands, you need to be a vendor in order to offer a group buy.

second, what in the world would you want to use a group buy on?

third, like heavy mentioned, there's only like 2 of ya'll.

the third gen TL section barely has group buys any more.
the market is pretty saturated and we usually can find second hand parts on the cheap.

the only item that we still have group buys on is the aspec kit.
oh, and as I'm typing this, I see a big fat ad for XLR8. Josh has sales going on all the time for the forum.

Random question Manolo, do you take rt 9 up near Peekskill to go to work in the morning?

On my old CL, I had a Sarona roof spoiler and trunk spoiler. The truck fit perfectly. The roof one was the worst fitting aftermarket piece I ever bought.

Since we are snowed in over here, get in touch with 5zigen over in Japan and convince them to make their exhaust again for us

Really?

Well I only know 1 guy that had it and he never mentioned anything about it. I'm straight on a $2500 exhaust or whatever it cost.

But as the King of Group Buys you can round up a group of potential buyers then get 5zigen to lower the price dramatically

I don't have enough posts, points or activity on the site. I think it should be heavy or 007spy one of the vets here that should be in charge. I emailed sarona that's as far as I go

I see three people who want three different parts. Sounds legit.



In all honesty, the most recent attempt that came close was the j-pipe. About 5 people committed just to get it custom built. In the end, probably 15 or so were sold to members here, but we couldn't get a list of ten commits even if Whiskers porn feed had relied on it.

1st; you need the part in question.
2nd; the person who wants it the most needs to set it up. step up and be a leader and organize something with a vendor.
3rd; let the vendor post on acurazine about the group buy.


without these crucial steps; ya'll are all talk.

some one step up.



and as I already pointed out, there isnt a need for group buys with just 2 people, when there are sales going on all the time on acurazine. for example; the brake packages that Heavy_RL linked to.
